Teen Court - Volunteers

Teen Court depends heavily on community volunteers, both youth and adult.

Youth volunteers

Youth volunteers observe a court night and then submit a volunteer application. If accepted as a Teen
Court volunteer, they begin by serving on Teen Court juries, and then can be trained as bailiff,
clerk, or a teen attorney (only for senior high students).

Youth volunteers are ages 12+. They are expected to attended Teen Court regularly (most serve at Teen
Court 1-2 times per month), unless needing to take a short break for a seasonal sport or activity.

Teen Court volunteers are expected to attend a New Volunteer Orientation. They are also required to
attend regular refresher trainings (approximately once every 3 months), to maintain their knowledge.

Teen Court is a fun place to be for volunteers! Teen court holds an annual spring banquet to honor
all of our volunteers and Judges each year. A dinner is provided and awards are given out.
